Even the Dambusters had many inaccuracies in it.
But they used real aircraft in that film. The point is, inaccurate for the time period or not, it must have a name....It certainly isn't a WWI aircraft nor did they attempt to make it look like one apart from painting it red.

That would be a first on this thread, wouldn't it? Getting to solve your own challenge?

Awesome.

Not really...I already knew the answer. Thought I could distract you from staring at the PPRuNe clock...

C'mon, stop staring at the clock!

..........RR,

4. In the event that the person posting the challenge has not responded to a guess or question within 12 hours, or someone who was the winner of the previous challenge has not posted a new challenge within 12 hours (unless they have declared Open House) then the competition will be null and void and it will become Open House.

Hi Graeme.... I'm sure 11:18 was the time and so 11:19 counts? Yours is a Hurricane by the way!
